The same goes for how people with Long Covid or ME/CFS are treated.
People become chronically ill and then they're suddenly surprised by how little society as a whole cares about them.
I know that we are told "people who actually need(/"deserve") help get help", but haven't you been paying attention to how homeless people for example are treated?
A lot of homeless people are mentally and/or physically ill and are in no position to improve their situation without help.
Do they get help?
